by Maarten Goldstein, Sep 07, 2005 5:39am PDTBurnout Revenge & Legends are due out soon, which for some reason I didn't realize until recently. I hope Revenge has enough new stuff in it to make it a worthwhile pickup for the Xbox. Legends or any other PSP game coming out soon for that matter isn't really all that important to me seeing how I probably won't be flying anywhere the rest of the year. It sure would be nice to have something new to play for when I do travel though. Movie: Some people are just born with tragedy in their blood.

We should start a Shacknews podcast and use Google Talk for "call-ins". Whoever hosts could just record the audio on their PC (I know I can do this with my Audigy; there has to be other ways to do it if the host has a different sound card). I'm sure we could find someone to host the audio file.
Just let Shackers rant about whatever. Could be fun.

It's earnings time at Take Two, but there's some infor you're probably interested in beyond the numbers...
* Civ IV has been moved up!!! It'll now be out, most likely, in October, instead of November.
* New GTA coming next year!!
* GTA: Liberty City Stories (PSP) still on track to go on sale before November.
* The Warriors (Rockstar) also on track to go on sale before November.
* Bully (Rockstar... seeing a trend?) has been pushed back. Now a Fiscal 2006 release (was originally this fall). PS2/Xbox. This *could* mean holiday 2005, since Take Two's fiscal year ends Oct. 31, but I wouldn't put money on it.
* NEW Rockstar brand coming to Xbox 360 in Feb-April 2006.
More details as warranted during the conference call.

I'm always watching these mpeg files of Dave Matthews + Tim Reynolds on VH1's Storytellers, so I figured I'd burn them to a DVD with menu's and such FTW.
This is what I came up with for the title menu so far:

I'm keeping in mind the safe zone, which is why I've got so much black space on the edges.
P.S. the pixel aspect ratio is WRONG on the link, it will be correct when its on the DVD... so pretend it isn't horizontally squished.

Right now I am making a portrait/picture for my sister in photoshop for Christmas. I'm having a really hard time getting the shading right and the eyebrows. I can only imagine what a pain the rest of the details will be. :( Also, something's up in PS, because my Ctrl+C and other commands with the keyboard do not work. They wrok just fine outside of the program, but no such luck in it.

The much anticipated RTS game "Chased by a Wolf" has it's demo up today. In "Chased by a Wolf" your mission is simple; you get chased by a wolf and have to hide in trees or in places where the wolf can't get you.
Here's a screenshot:

Run it with the monitor unplugged. When you hear music plug it the monitor back in. Set the resolution one step below the max (IE: I had to set it at 1680 x 800, 1050 screwed it so it crashed at startup and I had to delete my save folder) close the game, and restart it. It should now work normally.

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri.
All productivity would vaporize. SMAC is the single most addictive game I have ever played. Having it on a handheld would be glorious.
Best of all:
Question: Do you have any plans to develop for the NintendoDS? Firaxis' strategy games are a natural match for the dual screen, touchscreen enabled handheld. Other strategy games such as Europe Universalis II, Age of Empires, and Command and Conquer have been announced. Civilization and/or Alpha Centuari would fit in nice.
Sid: It's certainly something we're exploring. Our goal is to make great games and deliver them to players on whatever platforms make sense for the game. I agree that the Nintendo DS would be a good match for some of our titles…so stay tuned for more info. soon!

-The levees were created to stop the flooding of NO from the missisip but have had two effects
1)It reduces the land in the gulf because all the sediment doesn't go out there anymore.
2)With the reduction of land huricanes will hit NO much harder since they are closer to the ocean.
-Build higher levees so it doesn't flood anymore
1)NO will still be sinking
2)Land will still disapear from the gulf
Why does anyone still live on the south east coast anymore?

BFGTech Geforce 7800GT OC
I just added an extra 512MB RAM, the mobo, and the 7800GT OC (from a softmodded Radeon 9500) and its "fast" but it doesn't seem as mind blowingly fast as I would have expected. What kind of 3DMark03/05 scores should I see? What about Doom 3 timedemos? FEAR SP framerates? Source:VST score?
Also, my DDR400 is being run at DDR333... which seems odd. Is this because I'm filling up all 3 slots on my mobo or what? I guess I could try taking out one of the sticks and seeing if it goes to DDR400, but I'm lazy.
